WA is bracing for hail, destructive winds and flash flooding from Kalbarri to Mandurah this afternoon as thunderstorms move through the region.

The worst of the potentially destructive storms are forecast to hit from midday, according to the WA Bureau of Meteorology.

WA’s State Emergency Service FESA is warning people from Kalbarri to Mandurah, inland communities including Mt Magnet and Merredin and the central and west Wheat Belt to prepare their homes for severe weather.

The storm cell is expected to be in the vicinity of northern coastal suburbs of the Perth Metropolitan area about 3:30pm and western suburbs about 4:00pm, FESA said.

If you are caught outside seek shelter away from trees and metal structures, the bureau said.

The thunderstorms are expected to continue in Perth until tomorrow morning.
